• Multigrain Oatmeal (140 calories, 3 grams of fat): Steel-cut multigrain oatmeal, slow-cooked in a kettle. It’s supplemented with flax, whole wheat and buckwheat, then topped with blueberries and strawberry slices. It’s also served with a side of cinnamon brown sugar.

The chain is also testing entrées for those who want something a little more decadent and sweet:

• Chicken & Waffle (440 calories, 9 grams of fat): A boneless breast of chicken, hand-breaded and pressure cooked in peanut oil, served with a warm Belgian-style waffle with a caramelized sugar crunch (maple syrup baked inside.) It includes a side of honey as well. Customers can get the waffle by itself too.

The 11 items on the budget-conscious menu items include a pair of burritos, a couple of mini quesadillas, a tostada, nachos and three desserts.

I tried the two burritos (Beefy Fritos Burrito and Cheesy Bean and Rice Burrito) and found them to be exactly what you’d expect. Taco Bell fans will not be disappointed.

Another sandwich chain has landed in the Inland Empire.

Jimmy John’s, which has locations in 40 states (and a half-dozen in Los Angeles and Orange counties), opened a new shop Aug. 26 in Fontana. The chain specializes in gourmet sandwiches and subs and also offers delivery.

The new location is at 16155 Sierra Lakes Parkway, Suite 110, a former Quiznos.

Another location is in progress in La Verne at 2320 Foothill Blvd., Suite C. It is the first of 24 shops Atlas West Inc. is planning for the area, according to franchising.com.

More than 100 locations are planned for the greater Los Angeles area.

Thanks to reader Jeff for the heads up!
